im tired of disabled people being sacrificed on the altar of "eco friendliness"

Agreed. Also I'm tired of disabled people being sacrificed on the alter of the government saving money.

dean just absolutely ripping purgatory apart, vampire side piece in tow, terrorizing and slaughtering every monster in his path in a desperate search for His Angel was one of the sexiest if not Thee Sexiest story arc in the whole damn show and i turn into a wild animal every time i think about it

one of my favorite things about being in this fandom is watching artists/creators' sharp descent into madness as soon as the supernatural sickness infects them. so often if you go to their page and scroll back a bit, you can find the exact moment the Worms™ took over bc it's like a switch was flipped. there will be content from other fandoms and then Boom suddenly it's nothing but destiel/spn from that point forward. it's like ah yes i can see it right here. this was the day it Got Them

me @ any sort of Discourse

"You are truly great at everything you do out there. Except for one thing."

"My left foot cross?"

This interaction is from episode 1x02 and it haunts me, because I think it's the first time we get a glimpse of the damage Jamie's dad has done.

Like we've been introduced to Jamie as an arrogant twat who thinks he's the best at this point, yet when Ted tells him he's not good at something, he has an immediate answer ready. There's not a beat of hesitation for him when he admits to it, the one thing that makes him less than perfect. As if it's been pointed out to him many times. The whole atmosphere in that scene just gets to me.

reverse gatekeeping. I am on my knees begging people to engage with the source material

I used to be 21 but now I'm 24. so you can understand why I'm so freaked out

buddy I was in this situation and then next thing I knew I was 27. watch out man

I love me a pseudo-historical arranged marriage au but it always nudges my suspension of disbelief when the author has to dance around the implicit expectation that an arranged marriage should lead to children, which a cis gay couple can't provide.

I know for a lot of people that's irrelevant to what they want from an Arranged Marriage plot, but personally I like playing in the weird and uncomfortable implications.

So, I've been thinking about how you would justify an obviously barren marriage in That Kind of fantasy world, and I thought it'd be interesting if gay marriage in Ye Old Fantasy Land was a form of soft disinheritance/abdication.

Like, "Oh, God, I don't want to be in this position of power please just find me a boy to marry", or, "I know you should inherit after you father passes but as your stepmother/legal guardian I think it'd make more sense if my kids got everything, so maybe consider lesbianism?", or "Look, we both know neither of our families has enough money to support that many grandkids, so let's just pair some spares and save both our treasuries the trouble".

Obviously this brings in some very different dynamics that I know not everyone would be pinged by, but I just think it'd be neat.

This is actually a really cool variant solution to a real historical problem, wherein either primogeniture or other profoundly shitty customs led to wealthy parents having insufficient resources to provide for all of their children in a manner consistent with their station.

Historically, the Church and its widespread monastic structure functioned as a dumping ground for second/third/etc sons and all the daughters one can't afford to marry off adequately, with the military eventually picking up the slack for the former post-Reformation to the point where it's been argued that the need for something to occupy these dispossessed sons played a role in Europe's ongoing conflicts between its nations and the eventual push of imperialism and colonization over the rest of the world.

In a world where homosexuality were more accepted, it would offer a new option: spare a comparatively-small outlay of resources from the main family fortune to equip a house and accoutrements, which would be reabsorbed into the family as a return inheritance in a few decades, and contract a marriage which would be deliberately unable to produce legitimate offspring.

You get the advantages of creating marital ties with another wealthy family, the people married therein have a spouse and the status achievements that go with marriage, and the risk that your child goes off and marries someone unsuitable or inconvenient is removed entirely, as is the risk that they could marry someone and have legitimate, inheritance-claiming children with them. Sure, they can have affairs and thus get children if they're married to a same-sex spouse, but those children cannot be passed off as legitimate issue of the marriage, and so they pose less of a threat to the the main body of the family's wealth.

And, thus: perfectly reasonable reason why your pseudohistorical fictional characters can find themselves in a same-sex arranged marriage!

"Nicholas, we've arranged for you to marry Eric, in the neighboring kingdom."

"But father, I'm not...."

"I'm well aware. I've just decided that you shouldn't reproduce."

crazy that the spn writers were like okay we're gonna do destiel but only halfway, which one should confess their love and which one should we try to imply 'can't reciprocate' and they chose cas to confess and dean 'kills himself when cas dies' winchester supposedly 'can't reciprocate' lmao what were they smoking in the writers' room

For those who are not familiar, the Death Note is a supernatural notebook from the titular manga and anime. The basic rules of the book are as follows:

For the sake of the poll, if more than one motivation applies, select the most important one. The definition of the options and the specifics of the fantasy are not particularly important here, I am mostly interested in the moral stances and rationale of other people.
